Moosa argues that while political party funding has not been a major problem area for South Africa, the implementation of the bill is necessary now to ensure that there is no future allowance for corruption.

He adds that not only will the party be obliged to disclose when funding has been provided to the party, but that voters will be able to ask if the party has been funded.

“It is important for individuals to start questioning the parties they support about where they are getting their money from. Its about time they find out,” Moosa says.

The bill which was passed in March as a result of the My Vote Counts court victory back in 2017, is set to strengthen South Africa’s young democracy by ensuring that the countries political parties are regulated.

This after it was found that most democratic parties in the world have strict regulations on the funding that they receive from private sources.
